We review several linear algebraic aspects of the Dehn-Sommerville relations and relate redundant analogues of the f- and h-vectors describing the subsets of a simplex 2^{1,...,m} that satisfy Dehn-Sommerville type relations to integer…
A numerical characterization is given of the so-called h-triangles of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complexes. This result characterizes the number of faces of various dimensions and codimensions in such a complex, generalizing the…
A relative simplicial complex is a collection of sets of the form $\Delta \setminus \Gamma$, where $\Gamma \subset \Delta$ are simplicial complexes. Relative complexes played key roles in recent advances in algebraic, geometric, and…
In this paper, we characterize all possible h-vectors of 2-dimensional Buchsbaum simplicial complexes.
A triangulation of a simplicial complex $\Delta$ is called uniform if the $f$-vector of its restriction to a face of $\Delta$ depends only on the dimension of that face. This paper proves that the entries of the $h$-vector of a uniform…
The aim of the paper is to calculate face numbers of simple generalized permutohedra, and study their f-, h- and gamma-vectors. These polytopes include permutohedra, associahedra, graph-associahedra, simple graphic zonotopes, nestohedra,…
We consider simplicial polytopes, and more general simplicial complexes, without missing faces above a fixed dimension. Sharp analogues of McMullen's generalized lower bounds, and of Barnette's lower bounds, are conjectured for these…
Results of R. Stanley and M. Masuda completely characterize the h-vectors of simplicial posets whose order complexes are spheres. In this paper we examine the corresponding question in the case where the order complex is a ball. Using the…
We compare various viewpoints on down-sets (simplicial complexes), illustrating how the combinatorial inclusion-exclusion principle may serve as an alternative to more advanced methods of studying their face numbers.
Given two sets of basis vectors in n-dimensional space, there exists a relation between their lengths and mutual angles, expressed as relations between the two metric matrices and the mixed matrix. In this paper these relations are given,…
In this paper, we study face vectors of simplicial posets that are the face posets of cell decompositions of topological manifolds without boundary. We characterize all possible face vectors of simplicial posets whose geometric realizations…
To every hyperelliptic curve one can assign the periods of the integrals over the holomorphic and the meromorphic differentials. By comparing two representations of the so-called projective connection it is possible to reexpress the latter…
The cubical barycentric subdivision sd_c(K) of a cubical complex K is introduced as an analogue of the barycentric subdivision of a simplicial complex. Explicit formulas for the short and long cubical h-vector of sd_c(K) are given, in terms…
We show that the change of basis matrices of a set of $m$ bases of a finite vector space is a connected groupoid of order $m^2$. We define a general method to express the elements of change of basis matrices as algebraic expressions using…
Starting from an unpublished conjecture of Kalai and from a conjecture of Eisenbud, Green and Harris, we study several problems relating h-vectors of Cohen-Macaulay, flag simplicial complexes and face vectors of simplicial complexes.
We discuss two different systems of number representations that both can be called 'base 3/2'. We explain how they are connected. Unlike classical fractional extension, these two systems provide a finite representation for integers. We also…
We study linear relations between face numbers of levels in arrangements. Let $V = \{ v_1, \ldots, v_n \} \subset \mathbf{R}^{r}$ be a vector configuration in general position, and let $\mathcal{A}(V)$ be polar dual arrangement of…
We define and characterize the $f$-matrices associated to Pascal-like matrices that are defined by ordinary and exponential Riordan arrays. These generalize the face matrices of simplices and hypercubes. Their generating functions can be…
The $f$-vector of a $d$-dimensional polytope $P$ stores the number of faces of each dimension. When $P$ is simplicial the Dehn--Sommerville relations condense the $f$-vector into the $g$-vector, which has length…
Let $P$ be a finite poset. Let $L:=J(P)$ denote the lattice of order ideals of $P$. Let $b_i(L)$ denote the number of Boolean intervals of $L$ of rank $i$. We construct a simple graph $G(P)$ from our poset $P$. Denote by $f_i(P)$ the number…
